Correnti has right vision for Billerica

Election day in Billerica is April 6, and I respectfully ask you to think about the issues in town that are so important.

Do we want better schools for our children? Do we want more businesses coming to our town? Do we want representatives that take a long-term view for our town?

One candidate that stands out is Bob Correnti. He has been a town selectman for 12 years. With his leadership we have seen the building of the Parker School and an influx of new businesses, such as EMD Serono, Nuvera, and Habitat for Humanity Resale Store. He has helped secure funds for important programs for children, seniors and veterans.

Bob is a man for families of Billerica, especially those with children and grandchildren, who are interested in safe, technology-driven schools.

The addition of the Parker School has had a great impact on the town, not only for the students attending the school, but for others using the school for events. The recent Billerica Youth Basketball Tournament and BYB Shamrocks for Shannon fundraiser are perfect examples of what the school offers the town. Its updated facilities and new gym impressed both those from Billerica and other towns. Bob supported this.

The same BYB tournament, which largely took place at the high school, did not receive the similar positive comments. The bathrooms at the high school are horrible and in disrepair. The heating is terrible, with some students having to wear coats inside the classroom during the winter. We need a high school built for the 21st century.
